We used to cut the foot off a pair of pantyhose, stuff it full of Jiffy Pop, and cram it into the exhaust pipe of a vehicle.
It made a terrible cacophony as the kernels popped, sometimes the heat melted the nylon and allowed the popcorn to just fall out, other times it choked out the exhaust system.

There's also the old sugar/sawdust in the tank trick if you are particularly evil.

Long ago and far away, my first step father was involved with the Danish Resistance in WWII as a child. One of the things he did was stuff as many potatoes as he could in the German's car exhaust pipes, making sure the biggest was the last in. Not only did they choke off the system but if the car was still running when they tried to clear the pipe but the smaller ones would fire out of the pipe like screaming hot cannon balls.

Sugar and sawdust in the tank works well, but nothing works as well on a diesel as eggs in the tank. When they get up to the hot parts of the engine, they cook in the fuel system. Makes a heck of a mess. Not saying how I know this...or anything else for that matter.

I always wonder why the Danish Resistance rarely gets the exposure of the French Resistance.

I remember my grandfather watching Hogans heroes and hating the French guy. According to him all the French "Resistance fighters" he met were college kids trying to impress girls, and he never once saw one do anything useful.

From what Chris (my 1st step father) told me, most of the Danish Resistance members were involved in spying and producing fake documents.

There's a great movie about the Eastern resistance movements, and while looking for a link to share I ran across a movie about the Dutch Resistance that A. I had never heard of, and B. is from one of my all-time favorite directors.

Once every two years I go to a large convention. This year it's in Washington DC. We fly in the 6th of November and leave the 12th. It's paid for so I'm going. Just a little worried. The first two days we are staying in a hotel 2 blocks off the mall and 4 blocks from the White House.

Review the rules for traveling with a gun. Not necessarily carrying it with you at all times, as DC is not a town to make a gun related mistake, but to have on hand during you down times.

I’ve gotten to the point that anytime we go to the metroplex or Tyler we carry our ccw and a rifle and we aren’t in a high probability area of unrest. My wife just gives me a good eye roll until we get stuck in traffic down in the ghetto.
